Seeing Fu An’s punch, Su Wen circulated his True Qi furiously and raised his fist to meet the other party’s without any fear!
Rumble!
As the two fists collided with one another, their True Qi burst forth with a loud thud.
Fu An’s eyes flashed as he shouted, “Nicely done!”
One had to know that Fu An was an eighth-grade cultivator after all. His True Qi was more condensed and its quantity far surpassed Su Wen.
Even though he had lowered his cultivation to 8th Grade Star Rank, Fu An felt that he should be able to crush Su Wen in terms of True Qi quality.
However, he did not expect that Su Wen’s True Qi would be so powerful and overbearing, that he could actually withstand his own punch!
In reality, Su Wen’s Heaven & Earth Great Solar Sutra was a domineering cultivation technique. Coupled with the purifying of his True Qi due to the Sorcerer God’s Golden Gu, the quality of his True Qi had increased by a lot, which was why it unknowingly produced such an effect.
The two sides exchanged a punch, heralding the opening of the curtains to this fight.
Fu An did not stop at all and continued to press forward.
“Jadebreak Fist — Jade Shatters Within!”
Just like when he fought with Lan Qingqing, Su Wen once again unleashed the delayed Qi explosions of the Jade Breaking Fist.
But this time, his opponent was on a completely different scale.
True Qi erupted from Fu An’s body, but something Su Wen never expected happened. Fu An’s face flushed red due to the internal Qi explosion, but his movements were totally unaffected.
In reality, the moment his True Qi erupted, Fu An felt a sharp pain. However, he forcefully endured the True Qi explosion and directly attacked Su Wen instead.
Both sides engaged in a fierce battle.
Su Wen’s fist technique was exquisite and strange. After every punch, it would cause a delayed Qi eruption in Fu An’s body. However, Fu An was not afraid at all. He only used his True Qi to protect his meridians and organs to prevent himself from being severely injured by the True Qi explosions. He then forcefully endured the explosions wrecking inside his body to throw more punches at Su Wen.
Soon, Su Wen realized that he had fallen into a disadvantage!
If one were to say that both of their punches contained 100 points of power, then Su Wen’s Jade Shatters Within skill was equivalent to injecting 20 points of its original power into Fu An’s body. In a direct confrontation, he would naturally be at a disadvantage.
Even though Fu An had to forcefully withstand Su Wen’s internal Qi bombs, he had the upper hand when it came to their exchanges.
Peng!
Fu An’s fist landed a vicious uppercut on Su Wen’s chin!
Su Wen felt as if he had been hit by a train. The powerful force made him black out momentarily.
Even though Su Wen and Fu An were fighting at the same cultivation rank, their combat experience was completely different.
Fu An had experienced countless life and death battles, but Su Wen had only been cultivating on his own.
The last time he defeated Lan Qingqing, it was also because Lan Qingqing was injured. Coupled with the strange explosions of the Jade Breaking Fist, he caught Lan Qingqing off guard.
However, Su Wen was unable to gain the upper hand against the experienced and uninjured Fu An.
Emperor Zhou and the old eunuch watched the fight with interest.
The Zhou Emperor smiled as he analyzed the battle, “This kid’s fist force is very strange. However, he didn’t manage to grasp Fu An’s weak point during the first punch. After that, Fu An was on guard, so it’s hard for him to capitalize and turn the tides.”
The old eunuch said, “There’s nothing we can do about it. After all, Fu An is originally at the 8th Grade of Earth Rank. The strength of his body and the True Qi far surpasses that of a Star Rank cultivator. Although the power of this fist is strange, once it enters Fu An’s body, the effect will not be comparable in contrast to someone at the same cultivation level. If Su Wen is also at 8th Grade Earth Rank and the two of them fight it out, then Fu An would not be able to deal with it so easily.”
His analysis made sense. Although Fu An’s power was restricted, it in the end was just a mere suppression of cultivation level. Every aspect of his body and skills surpassed that of an ordinary 8th Grade Star Rank. Otherwise, the Zhou Emperor would not have set a 50 move limit.
Su Wen was forced into a passive position. Fu An’s body was extremely fast and he grabbed onto Su Wen’s weak point, his agility and movement. He continuously shifted his body and attacked Su Wen from all directions.
Su Wen could only take the beating passively.
It looked as though his defense could not hold on for much longer.
At this moment, Su Wen suddenly abandoned his defenses.
Peng!
Fu An’s fist ruthlessly sank into Su Wen’s abdomen!
“Pfft!”
Su Wen spat out a mouthful of blood at Fu An.
However, the blood was blown away by the scattered True Qi around them, and did not manage touch Fu An at all.
At this moment, Su Wen’s left hand latched onto Fu An’s fist.
His eyes turned red. He finally opened up an opportunity!
He swung his right fist, slamming it straight towards Fu An.
The latter was also fearless, replying with a punch using his other hand.
Trading injury for injury!
The two of them seemed to have turned into two drunken men brawling. They did not care about anything else and only cared about the heads of their opponents!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The battle seemed to have turned into a clash of fists and heads.
Fu An was fearless. In his judgment, there was only one outcome for this collision. Su Wen would lose his ability to fight earlier than him.
Su Wen’s face was currently covered in blood. Suddenly, a smile appeared on his face. “Hehe, Jadebreak Fist — Jade Pith Drill!”
This was another way of using the Jadebreak Fist.
He gathered the power of his fist into one point and spun it at high speed, bringing with it an extremely strong penetrating strength.
Peng!
Both sides smashed their fists on each other’s heads once again!
This time, Fu An’s expression drastically changed.
The increased penetrative force of the punch drilled straight through to his skull!
His layer of protective True Qi was instantly pierced through.
It should be known that even he would be severely injured if such a brutal Qi force were to enter his brain!
At the crucial moment, the zhenqi in Fu An’s body circulated crazily and finally stopped the force produced by the Jade Pith Drill before it could enter his brain. However, his movements slowed down unconsciously. At this moment, Su Wen swung his fist again.
Having almost suffered a huge loss, how would Fu An still choose to fight him head-on?
He stretched out his hand and wrapped it around Su Wen’s right fist. At the same time, he kicked out towards Su Wen’s crotch!
Peng!
Fu An’s foot came back down.
This was because, right as he was lifting his foot, Su Wen had recklessly headbutted him.
The two of their heads collided fiercely, to the point that Su Wen could even hear the sound of his own bones cracking.
‘F*ck, I suffered a loss. My head is not as tough as this bastard!’
This was Su Wen’s last thought.
He managed to spit out the words, “We’ve exchanged fifty moves.”
After saying that, Su Wen fainted.
Fu An also stopped, standing there with his fists tightly clenched.
In terms of injuries, he was definitely much better off as compared to Su Wen.
At this moment, Su Wen’s forehead was caved in and his face was bruised and swollen. His face was covered in blood as he lay unconscious on the ground. Although there were also a multitude of bruises on his own face, it was much better than Su Wen who was beaten up so badly that his face swelled up to resemble a pig’s head.
After all, his body at Earth Rank was naturally much stronger than Su Wen’s body.
But to him, not winning was as good as being defeated!
At this time, Emperor Zhou and the old eunuch also arrived at the scene.
Fu An knelt on the ground and said, “Your Majesty, this subject is guilty!”
Emperor Zhou waved his hand and said, “How do you feel?”
“The quality of this lad’s True Qi is extremely high, and he is proficient in his fist techniques. The force of his fist is bizarre, and he has a certain ferocity. It’s just that his combat experience is a little shallow, and his movement technique is lacking. If he were to polish it, his future will be limitless.”
Even though Fu An was unhappy, he still gave an objective evaluation.
“Bring him to Shen Qiu and treat his injuries.” After saying that, Emperor Zhou looked directly at Fu An, before sighing “You shouldn’t have tried to kick him at the last moment.”
That’s right, if that final kick had landed, Su Wen would wave goodbye to celebrating Fathers’ Day..
